A Shadow of Winter
Tractors mull over grass
in the advent of spring,
snow caps the mountains
in the distance,
as wind blows
through withered trees,
seeking inspiration from
the blue sky,
mirrored in canal water,
catching bridges and wild flowers
in its reflection,
swans add glamour
to the immediate sense,
tide raises over railway line,
sea birds cluster in near by fields,
In between the sea and here,
the sun folds
as day light withdraws,
red sky holds the day.
